Elijah was just a common man like us (James 5:17), but God worked in and through this prophet in enormous ways. As we begin the "Peaks & Valleys Series" in 1/2 Kings, we discover an obscure prophet called by God, emboldened by His Spirit, and.... in training. We see how God hides Elijah away for a season of waiting, of preparation that is vital to his character development and faith. Oftentimes we fight against the times of waiting, thinking it is a waste of time. But oftentimes this season equips us for the greater work. This is why PATIENCE and PRAYER is vital in the waiting. Message preached on Sunday, January 14, 2024 by Pastor Joey. Join us this Sunday as we continue on in this series.
